Went to midwife and got checked and my blood pressure was 146/78 and I had traces of protein she retook my blood pressure about 10 minutes later and it had gone down to 131/73 she sent me home and told me to try and rest and not to worry since getting home My swelling has pretty much gone but now I’m feeling dizzy I don’t know if I’m over worrying but I just don’t feel right anyone else had any experience like this
@tam96, that’s what they’ve said to me some swelling is normal but this was in my hands feet and face and lasted hours they also said the protein I had was discharge 🙄 I have a growth scan on Monday to check baby as she’s on the large side 😶 I’ll ask about the fluid around her I think they said it was normal last time. Yeah preeclampsia is like headaches rib pain and tunnel vision with swelling high blood pressure and protein in urine x
@jennypoulter I know it's horrible hoe they make you feel, they made me think it was normal to have swollen feet fingers and face, they kept checking me for preclampsia but I only had traces of protein once so they dismissed it as discharge, my blood pressure was high when I first got to hospital but then dropped so I was aloud to go home and my midwife sent me for a growth scan and they never picked up on anything until I was in labour and they said once my waters had gone I had to much fluid but they where still adamant it was preclampsia, do u see spots when you have that? Xx
@tam96, I always feel like they think you are making it up. Oh my never heard of that what is it x
I seen your post earlier on was ment to comment on it, I always felt like they told me it was normal, but anyway I've experienced the same thing as what your saying I woke up one morning and was saying my hands and feet felt tight and puffy it went away by the time I got the midwife but only for it to later on get worse I was diagnosed during labour with polyhdromosis xx
@amy89, I’ve had it before with my first two aswell didn’t have it with my third though she didn’t seem worried I’m seeing consultant on Wednesday and I have a scan Monday but I just can’t help feeling something is not right I don’t feel unwell but I don’t feel right x
Yeah I would definitely ask them if I where you I'd never even heard of it before I had the baby but in the end my swelling got worse and worse and it didn't go away till like 8 weeks after having him, but I had spots in my eyes and so many symptoms like yours but hopefully it is nothing fingers crossed xx
